In April 2015, Trillanes accused two Court of Appeals (CA) justices of accepting P25 million each to halt Makati Mayor Junjun Binay’s suspension.

In September 2016, Trillanes called Duterte as “mass murderer” as he sought a Senate probe on Duterte's alleged involvement in extrajudicial killings in Davao City during his many terms there as mayor.
